Peek-a-boo!

Emily is hilarious lately when she's playing peek-a-boo! Here's a video of her having fun during lunch today:

Word of the day...

Can you guess what it is?

Animal Sounds

Emily loves making animal noises! Her "meow" is my favorite, and Fouad loves when she "roars" like a lion! Check out her new sounds:

Halloween 2011

Emily has had a few different Halloween costumes that she tested out for 2011. First, she wore her kitty cat costume to Boo at the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa:

Then she attended the Jason's Deli Halloween party with Fouad dressed as a pirate princess. Here's her awesome dance moves at the party:

Finally, Emily celebrated at the MOMS Club Halloween party and did her Trick or Treating in her ghost costume:

Here's a sweet video of Daddy and Emily in our neighboorhood on Halloween. Emily just learned how to say "BOO!"

Dance Time!

15 Months!

Our little girl is 15 months old! It's amazing how much she has changed, even in the last month. I know I have been saying that every month, but it really is incredible how much they change from month to month. Here's what she is up to now:

* Emily has lots of new words this month, and the number of words that she understands is even more amazing! She can say Mama, Dada, ball, bubble, go, goat (can you tell we've visited the petting zoo a few times?), Nay Nay (Aunt Nadine), Teta, Jiddo, hi, bye, good girl, eye, yogurt, purple, baby, and dog. She also takes instructions very well, like "Take Daddy your shoes."

* She can point to her head, hands, eyes, nose, mouth, bellybutton, feet and toes when asked.

* She is finally pacifier free! She sleeps great at night, but we are still working on naps.

* Emily loves story time just as much as she always has, but now she brings us multiple books before bedtime. Her current favorite book is "I Love You, Stinky Face". In this video you can see how upset she gets when the book is over, but she grabs another one right away:

* She got her first pair of tennis shoes, and she loves running around in them!

* Emily loves to dance - especially to the theme songs of her favorite shows, Super Why and Sid the Science Kid.

* Emily still really loves going to daycare. When I drop her off she says hello to everyone and when we leave she says bye bye and blows kisses! She is so spoiled there! Someone is always holding her and loving on her. We are really glad she gets to have a special place to go while I am working!

* Another thing that Emily has discovered is Fouad's iPhone and Teta's iPad. She loves watching clips of her favorite shows and YouTube videos of songs and nursery rhymes.

Uncle Shuck's 2011

We went last weekend to Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch! Emily loved the goats, but the corn maze...not so much. We had a great time!
